Policy: Romney- Lower middle class taxes. The public likes there money, Richard should make sure to emphasize his stance on taxes and how he can help the majority with them.

Obama- Control energy and increase production of natural energy resources such as coal and oil. Introduce new efficient energy that is environmentally sound and will reduce gas prices. Richard should make sure to focus largely on the environment since it is such a big topic today, and stress how he will preserve land and energy.


Quotes: Romney- "And they brought us whole binders full of women!" Doesn't really make Romney seem like a hero, more just like a candidate trying too hard. He's stating that he went out to find women to join his party and doesn't really seem to have a legitimate reason for doing this other than to appeal to the public.

Obama- "Im the president and i'm always responsible" Makes Obama look like a real leader and not afraid to confront major issues our nation is faced with. Richard should take this approach and not avoid head on confrontation with controversial issues. He should also not be afraid to take blame for anything and instead focus on how he can reform the issues.


Style: Romney- Romney is very determined to get his words in and interrupts Candy at times to answer a question that wasn't necessarily towards him. Richard should cooperate with the moderator.

Obama- Obama seems to answer questions more directly and firmly where as Romney somewhat dances around the questions a bit. Romney says what is going to happen with him as the president where Obama says how it is going to happen if he holds his position. Obama also uses the thumb pointing technique often. Richard definitely needs to make sure he answers the questions as best he can.


Wild Card: Each audience member who asks a question seems very nervous
